Mac OS

The performance and stability of Apple's Mac OS can greatly affect the performance of applications or
services running on it. APM provides the ability to monitor Mac OS X Servers 10.1.5 or later versions of

the operating system.

Adding a Mac OS application monitor

APM can monitor Mac OS operating system through CLI or SNMP. When you add application monitors

for Mac OS, follow these guidelines:

To monitor the Mac OS application through CLI or SNMP, enable and configure Telnet, SSH, or
SNMP on Mac OS. For information about enabling Telnet, SSH, or SNMP on Mac OS, see the Mac
OS configuration guide

.

To monitor the Mac OS application through CLI, obtain the correct username and password of the
Telnet or SSH user who has the Mac OS administrator's privileges.

To view traffic statistics in the monitor report of the Mac OS application, make sure at least one
probe is configured in APM. After a Mac OS application monitor is added, APM sends the IP

address of the monitored Mac OS application to the probes for traffic collection.

To add a Mac OS application monitor:

1.

Click the Resource tab.

2.

Enter the Add Application page in one of the following ways:

{

Select Application Manager > Add Application from the navigation tree.
The page displays all application types that can be monitored by APM.

{

Select Application Manager > Application Monitor from the navigation tree, and then click Add
on the application monitor list page.

3.

Click Mac OS of the UNIX Server Monitor class.
The page for adding a Mac OS application monitor appears.

4.

Configure the following parameters:

{

IP Address—Enter the IP address of the host on which the Mac OS application to be monitored
is installed. If the host is already added to the IMC platform, you can also click Select and select

the host in the Select Devices window. For information about selecting a host, see "

2 Quick

start

." APM automatically checks the specified IP address and associates the application

monitor with the host managed in the IMC platform.

{

Name—Enter a unique application monitor name. H3C recommends using Application
name_host IP address
for naming the application monitor.

{

Description—Enter a description for the application monitor to aid maintenance.

{

Polling Interval (min)—Select a polling interval for the application monitor. Available options
include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 30. The default polling interval is 5 minutes. A shorter polling

interval provides more accurate real-time data, but consumes more system resources.

{

Monitor Type—Select the protocol (SSH, Telnet, or SNMP) through which APM monitors the
Mac OS application, and then click the

Configure link to configure related parameters.

SSH parameters

Edit SSH Parameters—Select this option if you want to manually configure SSH parameters
for APM. Make sure the SSH settings are the same as those on Mac OS.
